Reading:

Yesterday we finished reading Fantastic Mr Fox! Today we are going to explore another one of Roald Dahl's books - The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me. We will be following the Reciprocal Reading pattern of Predict > Clarify > Questions > Summarise.   

Open up the resources below. Follow through the steps on the powerpoint and read the extract from the book - the pages are included as part of the powerpoint.

Literacy:

Mrs Maiden's Literacy Group:

Today, you will be finishing your retell of Fantastic Mr Fox by writing the ending. 

The ending should include:

• Mr Fox, the small fox and badger returning home.
• The feast.
• The farmers still waiting outside the hole.

To make this exciting for the reader, you could:

• Include exciting, descriptive vocabulary.
• Include some speech between characters, punctuated correctly.
• Use fronted adverbials at the start of sentences that show where, when and how. E.g. 

In the deep, damp hole, …

One gloomy evening, …

Sneakily, …

• The characters’ thoughts and feelings (make them exciting, not ‘happy’ or ‘sad’)

Mrs Worrallo’s Literacy Group:

This week we are going to focus on the different characters in Fantastic Mr Fox and describe them!

Each day we are going to describe a different character. On Friday we are going to compare two of them!

Tuesday – Describe Badger.

Wednesday – Describe Mrs Fox.

Thursday – Describe Bunce.

Friday – Compare Mr Fox and Badger.

Today, we are going to compare two characters. This means that we say what is the same about them and what is different about them.

Now open up the Blue Group Activity. We are going to draw a picture of Mr Fox and Badger.  Then we are going to write:

A) One thing that is the same about them.

B) One thing that is different about them. 

Maths:

Yesterday in Maths, we learned about reading bar charts.

Today we are going to learn more about Statistics (pictograms, tally charts, bar charts and tables).

As a warm-up, let’s practise one of our time-tables using the link below:

Today we are going to carry on learning about Statistics.  We are going to practise making block diagrams.

Look at your activity sheets – one is about a zoo and the other one is about mini-beasts.
